STOVE.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 29,175, dated July 17,1860; Reissued August 6, 1867, No. 2,714.

T 0 all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, CHARLES JONES, of the city and county ofPhiladelphia and State of Pennsylvania, have invented a new and usefulImprovement in Stoves; and I do hereby declare that the same isdescribed and represented in the following specifications and drawings.

To enable others skilled in the art to make and use my invention andimprovement- I will proceed to describe its construction and usereferring to the drawings in which the same letters indicate like partsin each of the figures.

Figure 1, is an elevation of the front of a stove with my improvements.Fig. 2, 1s a section through the line Z, Z, of Fig. 1. Fig. 3, is ahorizontal section below the line Y, Y, Fig. 2.

The nature of my invention and improvement in stoves, consists in makinga flue from the space below the grate to the space above the fire insideof the outside case of the stove for the purpose of carrying off thedust and ashes from below the grate by the draft through said flue whenthe fire is raked, and thereby prevent the ashes from escaping into theroom or apartment from the stove; and thereby dispense with theunsightly and expensive outside flue or column heretofore used for thesame purpose.

In the accompanying drawings A, is the base of the stove which may bemade in the form shown, or in such other form as will answer the purposeintended. It is provided with an opening at B, for the air to enterunder the grate C, to supply the fire; through which opening, a pokermay be inserted to stir and rake the fire on the grate C That portion ofthe stove above the grate may be made circular or otherwise, andprovided with a door D, to supply fuel, and an exit pipe E, to conductoff the smoke and gases from the fire. 'On the inside of the stove,adjacent to the outside I make a flue F, extending from below the grateO,

up into the space above the fire, and provide said flue with a valve ordamper F, which may be opened or closed by the handle Gr, outside thestove. The object and purpose of this flue is, to have the draft throughit take the dust and ashes from below the grate, when the fire is raked,and carry them into the exit pipe E, and prevent their escaping throughthe opening B, into the room or apartment. WVhich flue may also be usedby adjusting the damper G, to graduate or check the draft through thefire, and at the same time keep up, and continue the draft through thestove, so as to ventilate the room, and carry ofi' the noxious gasesrising from the fire, which have sometimes proved fatal to the personsoccupying the room containing the stove, when the draft opening anddamper have both been closed. I prefer to have this flue on the oppositeside of the stove from the door D, and opening B, and right below theexit pipe E, so that the air that passes through the flue will passdirectly into the exit pipe without crossing the fire, as it would do ifthe flue was not directly under the exit pipe. It is apparent from theforegoing description and drawings that the flue F, is between the outercasing of the stove, and the lining H, which surrounds the fire.

I believe I have described and represented the improvements in stoves,which I have invented, so as to enable any person skilled in the art tomake and use it. I will now state what I desire to secure by LettersPatent.

I claim as my invention and. as a new article of manufacture:

A stove provided with a flue from the space below the grate, to thespace above the fire, within the outside case of the stove for thepurpose specified.

CHARLES JONES.
